Ghostly Stuffed Mushrooms are a spooky Halloween twist on the classic appetizer. With a creamy cheese filling, earthy mushroom caps, and black olive eyes, they’re festive, fun, and delicious—perfect for parties or family celebrations.

Ingredients

  • 24 large white mushrooms
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Black olives (for eyes)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Clean mushrooms and remove stems. Set caps aside and finely chop stems.
  3. Sauté chopped stems with garlic in a skillet until softened.
  4. In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese, Parmesan, garlic mixture, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  5. Spoon filling into mushroom caps.
  6. Slice black olives into small rounds and press gently into filling to form eyes.
  7. Place mushrooms on a baking sheet and bake 15–20 minutes, until tender and heated through.
  8. Cool slightly before serving so they hold their shape.

Notes

  • Swap cheeses with mozzarella or cheddar for a different flavor.
  • Add crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
  • Stir in chopped parsley or chives for a herby taste.
  • For dairy-free, use vegan cream cheese and nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge up to 3 days; reheat in oven, not microwave, to avoid watery filling.
